The replacement is the 7010. But before you give up at you still using a ciss or refillable cartridges. If so it sounds like you may have some bad ones or the wrong ones. There are some specifically designed for pigment and sublimation and those have larger sponges than the ones for dye ink. Which ink are you using. I am surprised 3 printers. I had on that lasted 2 years and only stopped because of lighting.
What's the upgrade model printer for Epson WF-1100??
Hello all,
I was wondering what's the best upgrade printer like the WF 1100 for Epson? I've been having soo much problems with my Epson 1100 printer. I've gone threw 3 printers with them already and its not even an year old yet. Same problems with all them. With very bad smugged ink all over the place.
So I was just wondering what is the upgrade model thats like the WF 1100 wideformat one?
If anyone can help me out,
Thanks!!

I was using regular cartridges at first and was doing that for them to..The replacement is the 7010. But before you give up at you still using a ciss or refillable cartridges.

Which ink are you using. I am surprised 3 printers. I had on that lasted 2 years and only stopped because of lighting.
Then I got refillable cartridges they were fine since got them...and now the slugged ink again. How can I fix this problem??

1. When not using the WF1100 do not keep paper in the printer. Close the paper feeder and keep the output lid closed when not using the printer ... this keeps out dust.
2. Learn to clean your "park pad" with Simply Green cleaner. Conde has a video for the 4800 "capping station" the cleaning concept is similar. You can also use the Simply Green cleaner and put on a dust free microfiber cloth and put it under the prinhead to clean it as well.
I always keep my lid closed when not using printer. Also what is "park pad"? Never heard of it. And can you send the link to the video?A couple of things you need to understand.

I use plain water on the park pad to clean. But use scalding hot water. .:: Cobra Ink Systems::. This is where the term CIS began. I use this method when cleaning or unclogging a head and works great. I do this periodically to prevent build up on the head. Also where they show you to pinch off the head you can cut that tube, put an extension on it and into a Tupperware container. You now have a $3 waste ink tank.
Park pads are also sometimes called a capping station, there is a pad on the station. This is for a small format Epson, they are all designed very close to this.I always keep my lid closed when not using printer. Also what is "park pad"? Never heard of it. And can you send the link to the video?

This video would be better than the Conde video I mentioned before as the 4000 series is more complicated, but the cleaning fundamentals are similar. So this video is for a desktop Epson. This video also shows getting under the print head as well.

In the Conde video for the 4000 series it uses "Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner".
I recently bought an Epson WF-7520 from Cobra Ink Supply with a pre-installed CISS. Before I did have an 1100 and the main features in the new model is that the paper dose not feed form the top, but instead from trays in the bottom. This has greatly reduced jams, but can be annoying when loading large transfer sheets, because you need to pull the tray out every time to load the next sheet.
I am seeing a lot of different WF-7??0 numbers come up. I was guessing most of the numbers are from other countries until you said Cobra. Here in South FL, in Staples they have the WF-7010. Did they use different numbers for different regions? Different stores? Office Depot doesn't have it yet (it took a long time for all but one of the Staples in my area to get it) and I only go to Office Max once every three blue moons.
I personally dislike bottom feed trays, I've seen a lot of HPs completely jam when trying to print anything heavier than brochure paper because the paper curls, or flicks up and hits the printhead when the last part of it goes through the bend. I've seen reviews of Artisans jamming as well. My R220 and R340 don't like thick paper stock (they simply can't feed it without me curling the end and shoving it in when the feed rollers try to pull it) but this is only for seriously heavy paper (10 mil). HP's Premium Plus photo papers are very very soft and floppy, to the point of annoyance, probably to cope with the fact that the majority of HP's printers are bottom feed.
On the other hand, during my inspection of the WF-7010 I noticed two interesting things, they only have one black tank now instead of the double setup (which I always thought was bizarre) and the entire printhead travel area is unobstructed by anything, thus making it look very easy to install a CISS without any problems with the tubes jamming (I had to use a hot knife to carve up my 1100 so the tubes wouldn't rub against things), you could probably completely remove the lid and be done with it. I wonder if the different ink tanks mean a better printhead/better color gamut than the older one.

There are 3 new models in the US, they are not store or region specific.I am seeing a lot of different WF-7??0 numbers come up.

The inks are the the same as all 4 color Epsons, just the cart numbers vary, the ink formulas are exactly the same among all new Epson 4 color printers using "Durabrite Ultra".
Yeah, I have had some problems with the page curl issue with larger prints, which has caused some banding issues, which also requires A LOT of print head re-alignment.I am seeing a lot of different WF-7??0 numbers come up.
